- In omni actione ubi duae concurrunt districtiones, videlicet, in rem et in personam, illa districtio tenenda est quae magis timetur et magis ligat
- In every action where two distresses concur, that is to say, in rem and in personam, that distress will hold which is the more dreaded, and which binds the more firmly.
